Humanities councils american rescue plan funding

The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded the Idaho Humanities Council Inc. $678,657 under the Promotion of the Humanities Federal/State Partnership program (CFDA 45.129) from June 15, 2021 through April 30, 2023. The Idaho Humanities Council, doing business as Humanities In Idaho, will use these funds to support local, statewide, and regional public humanities programming. As the state humanities council for Idaho, the organization promotes public engagement with history, literature, ethics, and other aspects of the humanities through initiatives like lectures, exhibits, and educational events. This Project Grant from the NEH will enable the Idaho Humanities Council to provide these types of public humanities programs to communities across Idaho as the state recovers from the economic and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic through the American Rescue Plan Act.
